Arab and Muslim States Press US to Enforce Gaza Roadmap After Israel’s Rejection

Eight foreign ministries from the UAE, Qatar, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia and Egypt condemned Israel’s rejection of the Gaza Board of Peace’s 15-point roadmap for Trump's peace plan, urging the US to enforce full Israeli compliance and warning of consequences if the plan isn’t fully implemented; Prime Minister Netanyahu had said Israel wouldn’t withdraw until Hamas is disarmed; the BoP plan ties Hamas disarmament to phased IDF withdrawal, and ministers say Hamas’s acceptance would be a vital milestone for ending the Gaza war and securing Gazans’ safety.

Kushner presses Netanyahu to revive stalled Gaza peace plan

Jared Kushner met with Benjamin Netanyahu to push forward the US-backed Gaza peace plan after Israel rejected the 15-point proposal, with mediators in Egypt seeking to turn Hamas’s disarmament, an Israeli withdrawal and Gaza reconstruction into verifiable steps, as the Board of Peace—an international body chaired by Trump—faces limited participation from Western states and political headwinds ahead of Israel’s elections.

Netanyahu rebuffs Gaza plan, testing Trump diplomacy

US allies fear Netanyahu’s rejection of the White House–backed Gaza peace plan undermines Trump’s leverage in the Middle East, weakening the Board of Peace and casting doubt on Washington’s ability to influence the region, as Netanyahu demands Hamas disarmament before any withdrawal and domestic politics complicate the peace roadmap; the White House says the plan isn’t derailed, but diplomats warn the administration’s credibility and strategy are at risk.

Trump's Gaza Stabilisation Board Awards First 150-Person Military Outpost Contract

Trump's Board of Peace has awarded, but not finalized, its first Gaza contract—to Arkel International—for a 150-person outpost to house Moroccan troops as part of an international stabilisation force; the tiny base would sit near the Israeli border in Gaza’s sector controlled by Israel, with the ISF framework still unresolved and the broader reconstruction plan reduced from its original scope.

Gaza withdrawal tied to Hamas disarmament, says US-backed Peace Board

The US-led Board of Peace said any Israeli withdrawal from Gaza will occur only after Hamas fully decommissions weapons and tunnels, tying pullout to the disarmament deal mediated by Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye. In West Jerusalem, Netanyahu met with Board director Nickolay Mladenov amid Israeli opposition from hardliners, while Hamas insisted the plan won’t take effect until Israel’s commitments are met. Mediators condemned recent Israeli strikes, underscoring a fragile path toward a Gaza ceasefire ahead of elections.

Hamas signs phased disarmament deal with Israeli withdrawal plan, drawing mixed reactions

Hamas says it has agreed to a phased disarmament deal tied to an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, brokered by the US Board of Peace and backed by a plan for a technocratic Palestinian government and an international stabilization force; however, timing and verification are uncertain, with Israel’s far-right minister Itamar Ben Gvir opposing the terms and critics warning the pact may not hold.

Gaza disarmament roadmap unveiled as US-led board outlines phased security deal

A US-led Board of Peace and mediators say Hamas would disarm in phased steps, with a 14-day weapons inventory, international verification, and the transfer of weapons to a Palestinian National Committee overseen by an International Stabilization Force, as Israeli forces gradually withdraw. A technocratic Palestinian administration would run Gaza under the Board, while a new Gaza police force would be trained. Israel has yet to publicly accept the plan, and skeptics warn that verification, potential spoilers, and broader adherence by other armed groups are major open questions. The process could take several months (roughly 200–300 days for demilitarization) once formal acceptance is secured.

Gaza disarmament moves forward under Trump-led peace board

US President Trump says the Board of Peace has secured a plan for Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza to disarm completely as part of a US-brokered ceasefire, with Israeli withdrawal to follow and an international stabilization force backing a new Palestinian police; Hamas confirms the agreement, while Israel’s response remains cautious; the scheme involves inventorying and verifying Hamas’s weapons before full disarmament and reconstruction progress in Gaza.

Gaza disarmament pact moves forward under international oversight

Hamas and other Palestinian factions reportedly approved a phased Gaza disarmament roadmap, with police weapons handed over first and heavy arms decommissioned under international verification by a National Committee; the plan links disarmament to Israeli withdrawal, reconstruction progress, and the formation of a new Palestinian government under the Board of Peace, with mediation by Egypt, Qatar and Türkiye. The deal has been framed by Trump as a monumental step toward peace, though some groups voiced reservations while fighting and other tensions persist.

Leaked draft puts blanket immunity and property rights at center of Trump’s Gaza Board

A leaked four-page draft of the UN‑sanctioned Gaza Board of Peace proposes total legal immunity for all members and authority to occupy Gaza public property without compensation, with Trump as chair able to waive immunities. Legal experts warn this could create a lawless, self‑policing regime with little external oversight, while the BoP disputes the report and pledges to uphold applicable law.

Gaza governance draft would grant sweeping immunity to Board of Peace

A Guardian article reveals a draft UN-backed resolution for Donald Trump’s Board of Peace to govern Gaza that would grant broad immunities to its members, affiliates, and contractors, allow the board to seize public Palestinian property for free, and empower the chair to waive immunity with majority support. The draft, titled RESOLUTION NO 2026/3, lacks clear external oversight and raises concerns among legal experts about accountability and potential self-contained legal regimes in Gaza, prompting questions about how such protections would interact with international and local law. Officials deny that an immunity framework exists and emphasize oversight, while critics warn it could replicate occupation-era legal cover.

Trump’s Gaza reconstruction fund sits empty despite multi-billion pledges

Four months after its launch, the Gaza reconstruction fund of Trump’s Board of Peace has received no donor money despite pledges totaling billions; officials say funds haven’t been deposited because the reconstruction phase has not begun, with some donations reportedly landed in a JPMorgan account that lacks independent transparency. The board, led by Trump, faces limited European participation as the conflict continues and a UN/EU estimate suggests roughly $71 billion is needed over the next decade.

Trump’s Board of Peace: Billions Pledged, Zero Dollars Deposited for Gaza Relief

The Daily Beast reports that Trump’s Board of Peace, created to coordinate Gaza relief and governance, has received no real funding despite nine countries pledging over $9 billion. Only minor contributions—$100 million from the UAE and $20 million from Morocco—have materialized, and those funds are frozen or allocated to offices and police training. The State Department reportedly redirected about $1.2 billion toward Board-related projects, but none has been spent by the Board, and no U.S. dollars have gone to rebuilding Gaza. The board has yet to award contracts or establish on-the-ground governance, with donors and critics warning that progress is lacking and there is no clear authority in Gaza to manage the plan.

Fresh Funds, Frozen Plans: Trump's Board of Peace Has Seen Zero Deposits Despite Billions Pledged

Despite pledges totaling about $17 billion from the US and other leaders, the World Bank–backed Board of Peace has not deposited any funds; donations are flowing through a JPMorgan account not required to report to the World Bank, with several major pledges frozen or not yet spent, and the board says it will report its finances later as it continues to set up funding channels and operations in Gaza.

Gaza Reconstruction Stalls as Donor Funds Remain Elusive

More than half a year after Trump’s ceasefire, Gaza’s reconstruction is at a standstill due to funding gaps, diplomatic delays, and Hamas’s demand to relinquish weapons; pledges totaling about $7 billion have not translated into action, with the Board of Peace reporting only a fraction of funds actually disbursed and no international security force on the ground.
